Osweiler leads Broncos to win over Patriots, ends New England's unblemished start

The Denver Broncos defeated the New England Patriots 30-24 in overtime on Sunday Night Football. The Broncos ended the Patriots' 10-0 start, knocking them from the ranks of the undefeated.

Former ASU quarterback Brock Osweiler finished the game completing 23-of-42 passes for 270 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Denver is now 2-0 with Osweiler as its starting quarterback in place of injured Peyton Manning.

Osweiler is expected to start again this weekend as Manning continues his recovery.

Randall injures knee, exits Thanksgiving contest against Chicago

Green Bay Packers rookie cornerback Damarious Randall left during the Packers 17-13 loss to the Chicago Bears last Thursday after suffering a knee injury. The injury isn't serious, and he is expected to be ready for Green Bay's Thursday Night bout with the Detroit Lions.

Randall finished the game with three total tackles and two pass deflections. He now ranks sixth on the team in total tackles on the year with 44, and leads the team in passes defended with 12 in his rookie campaign.
